Show Notes
A new wave of civil unrest in Iran has triggered one of the most severe communications crackdowns the country has seen, with disruptions extending beyond the internet to voice, SMS, and Starlink. Host Philip Gervasi is joined by Amir Rashidi (Miaan Group / Filterwatch) and Kentik’s Doug Madory to break down how the shutdown unfolded, what the data shows as connectivity collapses, and why attribution is tricky in the fog of a rapidly evolving crisis. They discuss Iran’s National Information Network (the domestic “intranet”), how shutdown tactics have grown more targeted and sophisticated over time, and what makes this event different.
